Oakland Plantation Grounds Tour

The Cane River region is home to a unique culture; the Creoles. Generations of the same families of workers, enslaved and tenant, and owners lived on these lands for over 200 years. The park tells their stories and preserves the cultural landscape of Oakland and Magnolia Plantations, two of the most intact Creole cotton plantations in the United States.

A small cabin sits beneath the branches of a Live Oak in the Oakland Plantation Quarters.
